Ultrasound Osteometry in the Diagnosis of Inflammatory Processes of Periapical Tissues

Echoosteometry is highly sensitive to changes in the mineral saturation of bone tissue, therefore, it allows you to obtain objective information about the inflammatory process  in  a  specific  area  of  the  bone.  In  patients  with odontogenic  osteitis,  the  ultrasound  speed  of  a  relatively healthy  symmetrical  side  decreases  in  children  by  15.8%, in  adults  by  10.7%,  and  in  children  the  decrease  in  the speed of ultrasound propagation is more significant than in adults.
